installing freeradius error

[Doug Berman]

I edited statoverride and removed the freerad entry

I ran apt-get purge freeradius as well as apt-get purge libfreeradius2

I removed the directory /etc/freeradius

I ran add-apt-repository ppa:freeradius/stable-3.0

I ran apt-get update

Now, I'm getting the below error messages.

any ideas?  many thanks for helping me.
